Chapter 23: Cheng Bites Gold

The Tang Dynasty had a clear curfew policy, so everything had to be done before dark. Otherwise, at night, it will be very troublesome, and a careless Wuhou who will be beaten with a stick and stick will be beaten at the worst, and he may be sent to prison at any time.

Guan Lux also lived up to expectations, and the purchase of tea was completed before dark, and he came to report.

Since the wealth of the East Palace has been increasing in the past two days, the Guan Lux has also reaped a lot of benefits, and he is also very active in running errands.

No, I ran to the prince's bedroom at this time, and Li Chengqian was drinking tea at this time.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I have purchased 20,000 catties of tea according to your wishes, and doubled the staff, let them fry tea overnight, hoping to sell it tomorrow."

There are more than 600 guan for 8,000 catties, and 20,000 catties, isn't that nearly 2,000 yuan? That's the existence of two million dollars, maybe the expenses of the past ten years have been solved. Thinking of this, Guan Lux was very happy.

"Guan Lishi, you are getting better and better at doing things!"

Li Chengqian's words made Guan Lishi a little weird, after all, he was an eight-year-old child in front of him, but his tone of voice was like that of a person in his twenties.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, this is what I should do!"

"Very good, tomorrow's sale will be handled by you, and I should do less about this matter of leaving the palace, so as not to be discovered by His Majesty. Remember, remember to get the money back in advance as soon as the sale runs out tomorrow, and don't delay it too long, you know? ”

Guan Lishi couldn't understand why Li Chengqian was so anxious to see the money, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to agree.

Suddenly, a hearty laugh came from outside the door.

When Li Chengqian heard this, his head hurt.

Because, at this time, a man with an axe walked in.

"His Royal Highness the Prince! I've come to see you! ”

Before the person arrived, the sound came first.

Li Chengqian knew that this person was Cheng Yanjin, a man who made his head hurt. This guy looks no different from Cheng Chu Mojian, and even his personality is almost the same, this is a father and son.

"Uncle Cheng, why are you here?"

Cheng Yanjin laughed.

"I just went back to Chang'an last night, but I heard His Majesty talk about green tea, and I drank it, and the taste really made me linger! I couldn't sleep yesterday, I came to look for you in the morning, but I didn't see you, so I came again in the afternoon. ”

Li Chengqian thought about it, it must be Li Shimin who is playing a ghost, this cheap father must have shown off before Cheng Biting Jin and giving him a drink, and then he must be reluctant to give the tea to Cheng Biting Jin, and he must have mentioned himself later.

His tea is only 100 catties, but he is still worried, no, Cheng Biting Jin is here.

Li Chengqian laughed dryly.

"Uncle Cheng, what are you?"

He deliberately pretended to be stupid, Cheng Biting Jin's old face turned red, and he pointed to the tea tray and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard that this green tea is also available in your palace... So..."

"Uncle Cheng wants to drink tea? Come, come, sit down, I'll brew it for you. ”

Li Chengqian pretended to be stupid, which made Cheng Yanjin a little puzzled, but he couldn't say anything, so he sat down directly.

Cheng Yanjin is relatively straightforward, but it may still be a little difficult to say it when he asks for something, and he must be muttering in his heart, how can he tell Li Chengqian.

In his eyes, Li Chengqian is just an eight-year-old child, this child is no better than an adult, and he knows how to look good.

After drinking a few cups of tea, Cheng Yanjin fidgeted, and finally couldn't help but say: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I heard Your Majesty say that there are 100 catties of green tea in the East Palace, you see, can you give it to Lao Cheng evenly?" ”

If you don't say this, I'm afraid there will be no chance, because at this time, the sky has gradually darkened, and Li Chengqian will go to bed if he goes down.

People want faces, trees want bark, this trip to bite gold in front of good tea, the skin can be dispensed without.

Li Chengqian thought to himself, this old man really said it.

But how could he give it to him like this, if he didn't make some money, what was it?

So he said: "Uncle Cheng, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other, these teas will be sold tomorrow to fill some treasury for Datang." You also know that Your Majesty is doing this"

Although Cheng Yanjin is a person who practices martial arts, he still understands the meaning of Li Chengqian's words.

This is a Datang thing, and you can't be favoritistic because of Cheng Biting Jin, so Cheng Biting Jin asked in a low voice: "Then, how to sell this tea?" ”

"Well...... I sell a pound to the outside world is a consistent money, if Uncle Cheng wants it, I will count you cheaper, five hundred Wen. ”

Li Chengqian was talking nonsense, in fact, he had sold it for 500 yuan, but as soon as these words came out, it was as if he had given Cheng Yanjin face, and Cheng Yanjin was a little moved when he heard it.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, you are really good to me, so let's take ten catties. Hey, I didn't have that much money with me, so how about I take the tea first and give you the money later? ”

Li Chengqian thought to himself, it's good that you bite the gold, you have to lie to me as a child, hmph, I naturally have a way to treat you, so he said:

"Uncle Cheng, let's do it, I'll ask Guan Lishi to weigh the tea and send it to your house, and you can give the money again. On behalf of Datang, I thank you, you really contributed to Datang! ”

As soon as Li Chengqian's words came out, he directly put a high hat on Cheng Yanjin, and when it came to this, why was he embarrassed not to give money? And it's delivered to the door, he's embarrassed to manage Lux for himself, right?

So he laughed dryly, he always felt that this Li Chengqian was a little different, but where was the difference, he couldn't say, maybe he had grown up, after all, he hadn't seen Li Chengqian for a while.

So he scratched the back of his head and said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really thoughtful! Why didn't I think of that? Thank you so much, Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

Li Chengqian was sneering in his heart, first he won your son's money, and now it is your father who spent money to buy my tea, and his heart is inexplicably cool.

"Uncle Cheng, we are a family, a family, and we will see the outside world when we say this."

"Family, hahaha, good! A family! ”

Cheng Biting Jin's laughter was bitter, but Li Chengqian was refreshing.

"Come on, come on, have a few more cups, these cups are the essence of green tea, don't waste it."

After a while, Cheng Yanjin didn't dare to stay long, and since he had bought all the tea, he got up and said goodbye.

Originally, I wanted to ask for it, but later I didn't expect that Li Chengqian would give me five times of money, but I couldn't say it.

As soon as Cheng Yanjin came out of this room, Li Chengqian exhaled lightly, and finally sent this big old man away.

For a long time to come, I may have to get along with him, and it's a bit big to think about it.

Forget about tomorrow, let's talk about tomorrow, sleep! Thinking about the fact that there will be a lot of money in my pocket tomorrow, my heart is still quite refreshing. I hope there won't be any mess.
